Snippet: Given the importance of rapid decision making in the event of novel emerging pathogens, and the potentially devastating consequences of poor containment strategies, quantitative guidelines are urgently needed for deciding whether quarantine is, according to Gates et al., at worst "counterproductive" or at best "one of the few tactics that can reduce its spread" (9) .

Document: Given the importance of rapid decision making in the event of novel emerging pathogens, and the potentially devastating consequences of poor containment strategies, quantitative guidelines are urgently needed for deciding whether quarantine is, according to Gates et al., at worst "counterproductive" or at best "one of the few tactics that can reduce its spread" (9) . Current guidance on the use of quarantine or symptom monitoring is ad hoc and disease-specific, lacking the generalizability required for rapid decisionmaking for novel pathogens and leading to confusion during implementation (10) (11) (12) .
